Chapter 178 Advance to the quarterfinals
The first round of the Champions League round of [-] is all over, and the three Bundesliga teams have achieved very good results.

Both Schalke and Bayern won away games, and Dortmund's 2:2 away draw is already the worst "worst" result.

In general, this season's Champions League quarterfinals are likely to see three German teams at the same time.

After a week of adjustments, the Schalke 04 team was in good shape and won the game soon.

On February 2, in the 23rd round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 23 played against Dusseldorf at home.

Schalke 04 regained their form and won easily. Lee Chenglong's long-range shot helped the team open the scoring. Then Matip scored twice with two corner kicks. Schalke 04 won the opponent 3:1 at home.

In this round of the game, Dortmund was tied 1:1 by Borussia Borussia in the away game, and Leverkusen and Frankfurt both got a 0:0 boring away game.

So relying on this victory, Schalke 04 returned to the No.2 position in the standings.

However, Bayern is still very stable. They beat Werder Bremen 6:1 at home and did not give any chance at all.

Just like what Kahn said in an interview on TV two days ago: "At present, this Bayern team is invincible."

In the standings after this round, Bayern has 60 points, Schalke has 44 points, Dortmund has 43 points, Leverkusen has 42 points, and Frankfurt has 38 points.

Immediately after February 2, the day of the quarter-finals of the German Cup, Schalke 26 played against Freiburg at home.

In this game, Stevens still sent a half-rotation lineup. Lee Chenglong came off the bench in the 87th minute, and then scored a goal in extra time to help the team beat Freiburg 3:2 at home and successfully advance to the semifinals.

It is worth mentioning that in the quarter-finals of the German Cup this season, Bayern directly drew Dortmund, and Bayern eliminated the opponent 1:0 at home.

After Dortmund is out, Bayern and Schalke are the top two favorites to win the German Cup.

The four teams in the German Cup semi-finals this season are Bayern, Schalke 04, Wolfsburg and Stuttgart.

Soon the results of the German Cup semi-final draw came out. Bayern played against Wolfsburg at home, and Schalke 04 challenged Stuttgart away.

The German Football Association also considers the enjoyment of the game very much. Bayern and Wolfsburg have feuds, and Schalke and Stuttgart also have conflicts.

The game has reached the semi-finals, and now Stevens should not think about giving up. After all, he only needs to win two more games to win the championship.

However, the semi-finals of the German Cup will not start until April. At present, the league and the Champions League are still being prepared.

※※※

On March 3, in the 2th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 24 went away to challenge Wolfsburg.

Although the second round of the UEFA Champions League Round of 04 will be held in the coming week, Schalke [-] came to the Volkswagen Arena fully armed.

Because the Champions League has already won a 4:0 away game, there is no need to spend too much thought for the time being.

This time, Schalke 04 scored the biggest victory in the league this season against Wolfsburg, which is now in trouble.

Jackie Chan and Draxler both scored twice, and Huntelaar's comeback was the icing on the cake. Schalke 04 beat Wolfsburg 5:1 away.

Schalke's attacking trio scored five goals and the German media began dubbing them the Trident.

In this round of the Bundesliga, the top four teams in the league all won. Bayern beat Hoffenheim 1-0 away, Dortmund beat Hannover 3 1:96 at home, Leverkusen beat Stuttgart 2:1 at home.

Only Frankfurt lost 0:1 to Borussia at home.

So in the standings, Bayern has 63 points, Schalke has 47 points, Dortmund has 46 points, Leverkusen has 45 points, while Frankfurt still only has 38 points.

From the current point of view, Frankfurt will be the first team to fall behind.

At the same time, Schalke, Dortmund, and Leverkusen can breathe a sigh of relief, because Frankfurt is behind, the competition for Champions League qualification will become much easier, and everyone can even put more energy into the European war.

In the last two rounds of the league, Jackie Lee scored 3 goals, Lewandowski scored 2 goals, and Kisling only scored 1 goal.

So on the scorer list, Lee Jackie caught up with Kisling again, and the two tied for the top spot with 16 goals, followed by Lewandowski with 15 goals.

Frankfurt's Alexander Meyer has fallen behind. This season's Bundesliga Golden Boot will obviously be competed by Lee Chenglong, Lewandowski and Kisling.

After the league, the next step is the midweek Champions League.

March 3th, the second round of the UEFA Champions League round of sixteen.

Since the first round has almost spent the game, this game is more like going through the motions.

At the Schalke Stadium, Hub Stevens arranged a relatively conservative formation, a 4321 Christmas tree formation, and arranged for Kanter, Jermaine Jones, and Neustadter to play three midfielders .

Li Chenglong and Draxler acted as double attacking midfielders, and Huntelaar played as a single striker.

Such a formation is mainly to strengthen the defense, hoping that the team can win the game at home in a relatively easy way.

Because after this Champions League, the second Ruhr Derby of this season is coming.

You know, Schalke made a bet with Dortmund. If they can't double kill each other, they have to wear women's clothes to the streets.

Speaking of it, thanks to winning enough away games in Scotland in the first round, otherwise too much energy was spent in this Champions League, and the Ruhr Derby would be really difficult to say.

Amid the fierce cheers from the Schalke fans, Schalke 04 tried to compress the rhythm at home and paid more attention to defense, and finally played a 0:0 draw with the Celtics.

However, the score of 0:0 did not affect the team's advancement, nor did it affect the fans' celebration mood.

At the end of the game, Aofu Schalke Stadium immediately fell into a boil, and more than 6 fans shouted together.

"Shalke~~~~Shalke!!"

"The game is over. We congratulate Schalke 04. Congratulations to them for successfully advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season. This is the first time they have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League after two years. It is also the fourth time in their history that they have reached the quarter-finals powerful."

"Schalke has already advanced first, and then we will see Dortmund and Bayern Munich."

Schalke 04's Champions League results are indeed not outstanding, and they have only reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League three times before.

Before the restructuring of the Champions League, Schalke 04 only participated in the Champions League once, and that time they just reached the quarterfinals and were eliminated.

欧冠改制之后，沙尔克04也只在07/08赛季和10/11赛季两次打进欧冠八强。

Now this time is naturally the fourth time.

Schalke has advanced to the quarter-finals with a total score of 4:0, and other Champions League games in the middle of the week have also come to an end.

Dortmund returned to their home court to beat Shakhtar Donetsk 3:0, advancing with a total score of 5:2.

Paris Saint-Germain drew 1:1 with Valencia at home and advanced 3:2 on aggregate.

In the focus battle that attracted the most attention, Real Madrid defeated Manchester United 2:1 in the away game and successfully advanced by defeating the opponent 3:2 on aggregate.

As a result, Schalke 04, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, these four teams took the lead in advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The battle between Real Madrid and Manchester United naturally has topics and controversies, especially the red card in the game.

At Old Trafford, United were leading 1-0 on Ramos' own goal.

But in the 57th minute, Nani, known as Ronaldo II, was sent off with a red card for dangerous actions, which directly changed the game. Then Real Madrid, who had one more player, scored two goals in a row, and Ronaldo even scored a lead. The goal helped Real Madrid win 2:1 away.

The penalty for dangerous actions is inherently subjective, and everyone can have a different opinion.

But in any case, Manchester United has been eliminated.

Now there is only one seedling Arsenal left in the Premier League, and they are still in jeopardy. They have already fallen behind 1:3 at home in the first round, and I am afraid they will not be able to recover.

If Arsenal also go out immediately, then the Premier League this season will be the first time that no team has advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
